Sit down. Breathe. Write. Repeat...Meanie
A quick note from me this week and one a message I know I needed to learn! Today I'm hosting an online Day of Magic with a group of clients and know this will be relevant to them too... As I listened to 2 different private clients this week, the line from Snow...
Barbie
It really made me laugh when I read someone's description of herself as being "Work Barbie". What she was saying was how she put on a work persona which made her more authoritative and comfortable being in a position of responsibility when she was much younger than...
